👋Hi! I’m Samantha, and I’m a postpartum doula with Vermont Doula Company. I support families during the postpartum period by providing compassionate, hands-on care that helps parents feel confident, supported, and cared for as they adjust to life with a new baby.

🏠I live in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.

🐶I have dogs, and I’m very comfortable working in homes with pets.

🚑On my days off, I’m a full-time EMT, and when I’m not working I love spending time outdoors, baking, getting to the gym, and spending time with my son. I enjoy staying active and making the most of being outside whenever I can.

🎗My favorite thing about Vermont, especially living in the Northeast Kingdom, is the slower pace of life and the deep sense of connection within the community. People truly show up for one another here, and that feeling of support and togetherness is something I truly value.

What part of your work are you most passionate about?

I’m deeply passionate about breastfeeding support, but even more so about helping mothers and birthing people feel confident in themselves as they recover. I want them to truly know they are doing the best they can for their baby. Supporting the entire family—partners, siblings, pets, and loved ones—is just as important to me. My goal is to help create early postpartum days that feel supported and meaningful, so they become memories families look back on with warmth rather than stress.

Join us for our Childbirth Education Weekend Intensive on Saturday date 9am-3pm and Sunday date 9am-12pm.

From your first contractions to meeting your baby, we walk you through what to expect using research-base information and real-world strategies. You'll learn the stages of labor, explore pain-relief options and medical interventions, and build the communication skills to help you confidently advocate for your birth preferences.

Our hands-on class lets you practice comfort measures - breathing, movement, massage, and partner support - and includes a guided hospital tour so you arrive feeling ready and reassured.

Held in a relaxed small-group setting, this class creates space for open discussion and connection with other expectant parents. No matter what kind of birth you are preparing for, you'll leave feeling informed, empowered, and supported.

Snag your spot today: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/98cf0967/appointment/73032530/calendar/11354784/datetime/2026-01-24T09%3A00%3A00-05%3A00?categories%5B%5D=Education
